[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynnji:
Is there a default password for the lockscreen if you don't set one?

Yes, I are an idiot. I was playing around with the lockscreen feature, didn't know anything about it, set a gesture to unlock it and figured that's all I needed to do, and now I'm locked out. Didn't set a password.

The gesture I set does nothing except get the keypad to display, and it seems anything will do that.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxcar8028:
yeah, also never set a new password on your phone before going to bed, especially after a couple of drinks. been there. done that. :D

not sure about the nook, but on my htc aria i had to reset to factory. please say you have a backup......

EDIT:

I was thinking. maybe boot into cwm and wipe data and re-flash cm7

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krupic22:
Hey guys.. I just bought my new SGSII a week ago and I wanted to root it. I follow a guide on google and it went perfectly. Then I wanted to try a custom rom and found lite' and dark ROM... And I picked the dark ROM, so I found a guide on your site, for the 10.2 final edition and I did everything it said. I was starting to install, and I was waiting 15 mins and nothing happend. So as stupid as I am, I take the USB stick out and take the battery out too.. :D

After that it wont turn ON. It wont do NOHTING, no download mode, no repair mode.. Its been a couple of hours now and I cant find any answer on google so I wanted to post my problem here so you could have a new case to crack :D..

The wierd thing is my phone is warm, and even more warm then when I played on it.. But it wont function at all..

Please, I am very happy to recieve ANY answer :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rovah:
Look for the posts on the 301k Jig. I don't have the exact link but they're around somewhere on the SGS2 forum.

Its basically a microUSB with a 301k ohm resistor soldered onto it. If you have access to a soldering iron you can buid one in 10 minutes with the online schematics and basic knowledge of electronics.

It has been reported to throw your (bricked) device into download mode when no other method works, as well as reset the counters (tried and tested by me).

Once you get download mode, flash stock firmware w/ Odin and that could fix everything.

I am just happy that it is not me who just misread a posting and flashed the wrong ROM.

I must admit that these ROMs are confusing. With the HTC HD2 ROMs you had the model number, the revision, the country/branding number. My SGS2 went from (T-Mobile UK) KE2 to a stock KE7. Now am I allowed only to upgrade to KE8, KE9, etc or is KFnum a newer version.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodey:
The easiest way for rooting your phone from stock in my opinion is lightnings rom because u use odin to flash it and in 5 mins you have a fully rooted phone with a custom rom and no WIPE :)

then u can flash any rom you want without wipe if you do get a bootloop no need to worry because by now you would have figuered out what backup is for :)

to flash it back to stock, you need to do backup via recovery's CWM. If you don't know how to do it, don't flash custom ROM. Read until you understand. For starters:

Well obviously you can't handle a SGS2. To me it seems like you already bought something you can't use, why isn't it possible that you would do it again?

Now about your new phone, I recommend that you DO NOT ROOT IT OR TRY TO FLASH IT AGAIN. If you still feel like you have to do that stay on xda and read through some guides properly and get some basic information before you start doing something.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snap3r:
I have my Galaxy S 2 for 3 weeks now and ive considered rooting.Ive done a lot of reading and it seems pretty straightforward .... flash an insecure kernel and use S2 Root to do the job then if you still want your device to be recognized in Kies and on the market you flash your original kernel back using the same method.My kernel is BVKG2 and i didnt find it anywhere so my question is ... how can i back up my kernel ... or is there even a way of doing it ??

I didnt want to make another thread because i wanted to get a quick answer first.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caudex:
You dont really need to do all that. Just download a rooted kernel, like CF-ROOT, install that and you have rooted it. No messing around with insecure kernels and S2 root, just install the rooted kernel and BAM done.

Either that or install a custom rom, which most roms root by default.

Very simple, nothing to screw up really.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snap3r:
And the phone will still be recognized in market as Orange Samsung Galaxy S 2 ? I know its easy to flash but i want to have root and still have the same kernel i have now.

Okay if your screen is black and nothing appears you're officially ****ed. If it displays anything else you're all good and the USB jig will work fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
If you flash cf root, you will get root, you can just flash the stock kernel back over it, you will keep root but lose nandroid backup.

Whatever kernel or rom you flash the market will see it as a sgs2 and the carrier doesn't matter.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snap3r:
I found the exact kernel that my phone has in this thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928

The BVKG2 from orange Romania.I used odin to flash an insecure kernel then s2 root to give me permanent root and after that i used odin again to flash my original kernel and its all working perfect now and i have permanent root.Took me 5 minutes to do everything.

I just need to get off the ground, and running. If you guys/gals can help me get this started, I will get started, and see how I can help the shift community. We are short on developers, compared to the evo, and the evo 3d.
